Im glad you like it!

It looks like a real axe for a Berserker. I might get one:)

Awesome axe Nils, and beautiful gift you gave to Bjorn

The craftsmanship is wonderful ❤️

Same here !

Same as i

Thank you!

A rolled over 9 shape is not traditional, it's modern. A figure eight ( 8 ) shape with the fold being made central and the best bit of steel money can buy inserted as the bit IS traditional. Only places I find Germanic traditional axes being made still are in England, it seems. I'd love to find somewhere closer to home but they just don't exist, everyone does the modern 9 fold rather than the 8 fold with a bit insert.

@@bashkillszombies define "modern"

@@bashkillszombies first I will present mysef

@@bashkillszombies I work as a professional bladesmith and are specialized im making historical accurate axes. The only way is to do that is to examine historical finds. I have extensive knoledge of viking era axes and medival axes and other tools. I can tell you one thing the asymetrical fold is the most comon way to make axes from migration era to high medival era. The bowtie or symetrical is a much more modern way to make axes starting around the 1700:s. I have studyed alot of viking and medival axes and 90% are made with asymetrical fold the rest is punched. Don't know where you get the figure 9 and 8 theorys but that Is compleatly wrong there are tons of archiological finds tha sais so.

Thank you very much!

It helps drawing out the material faster. It also helps if its a tight spot you need to forge where the face of the hammer cant reach /nils

@ thanks for the info. I'll have to try the technique out.

There are pros and cons to both. The asymetrical fold gives you the oppurtunity to do more complicated things on the one side without having to recreate it on the other side

Which one is harder? To me they are equal. The asymetrical need alot of precisipn in thr actual weld

@ what is better - maybe that is a matter of personal preferences. The unsy weld maybe avoids Cold shuts and delaminations a little bit more. Otherwise, keep it up!

Well as I said it depends what kind of axe you are making. If you were to make a forest hatchet, I would recommend the symetrical fold. But if you were to make one like this Id go with the asymetrical fold, since tou get more liberty in shaping one side of the axe before the weld

Yes. You get more freedom in pre forming the blade. With the symmetrical fold you want both sides to be the same. But with the asymmetrical you can do what ever you want with one of the sides

November i aim to get the website launched

Im setting up a webstore!

@ Be sure to let us all know when it's up!

I do but the usps has been really bad latly. Can take up to 2 months for stuff to get to the right place

@ that's for sure. I've been waiting for a book that shipped on the 2nd. ups seems much better.

Most likely not!

I would never make an axe for him. Thank you though.
